The skin of a melon is never eaten; however it is strong enough to act as a support to the flesh while you eat it. It is easiest to deal with if you slice half way down the melon, lengthways. Then cut off a wedge and dig in! The flesh can also be cut away from the skin and used in fruit salads. Melon should be kept in a cool place, although until it has been cut open the moisture loss should be minimal. Once you have taken a few slices out of it, keep it in a plastic covering in your fridge.
